Percentage of each of the Rockwell Pension Plan and the
Rockwell Automation Pension Plan (after giving effect to
the allocation under Section 3.01(c)(iv)(B)(3)) is less
than 100%, then the Rockwell Pension Plan and the

of each such Pension Plan's Step 4 ERISA 4044 Shortfall
Amount to the aggregate Step 4 ERISA 4044 Shortfall
Amount of such two Pension Plans), any Step 4 Excess
Amount until the ERISA 4044 Funded Percentage of each
